The Way We Live Now: Beneath our proper stations. Respectable PR men and attorneys are now voluntarily doing so-called "other" jobs, like common hippie layabouts. The actual hippie layabouts are complaining because they lost their second jobs, to attorneys.

We don't want you to automatically assume that the dream of a respectable corporate whore business career is dead, but it is. Example one: David Kratz, who sold out of a successful PR firm to go to art school, of all things. You can't paint money with a paintbrush and glitter and construction paper and safety scissors, David! Example two: young attorneys are being asked to "defer" the start of their soul-crushing corporate law careers to go flitting about outside the office bartending or waitressing or "hostessing" (ahem) or even pro-bonoing, which is completely beneath the grayish dignity of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP and Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP and other comically-monikered paper factories.
